More leisure time?
ByDerek
I saw this story on Craig’s site, and it intrigued me. We’re all constantly hearing about how Americans work more and give up vacation time. So when someone comes out with a study that seems to indicate the opposite, it warrants some attention. So I decided to read the study, all sixty-some pages of it…
Definitely Buffalo featured on Buffalo Rising
ByDerek
My mom’s cousin’s store, Definitely Buffalo in Main Place Mall, is featured today on Buffalo Rising! Joan and her husband, Chuck, are both great people. They also own the Deer Head Inn on Clinton Street in West Seneca. It’s one of those great small, neighborhood, family-owned and operated restaurants. They have excellent steaks, turkey, fish…
What to do with an old satellite dish
ByDerek
Our house came with it’s very own, not recently used, 8.5′ Birdview satellite dish. You know, one of these big suckers: I really had no use for it and since it was blocking my tractor’s path into the garden, began looking for options to dispose of it. I found a group of people that amazingly…
A project 3.3 years in the making
ByDerek
So, this is the weekend where I finally get to upgrade our internal Lotus QuickPlace environment (a system which I’m responsible for) to the semi-current 6.5.x release. We’re still running the ancient 2.0.8 version, which has been out of support for eons already. I wrote my original plan to upgrade this system to version 3…
Duomo di Milano – the beginning
ByDerek
Now we’re at the highlight of any trip to Milan, Italy – the Duomo. The Duomo, according to Wikipedia, is the 4th largest church in the world. It is massive. And awesome. And I have lots of photos. This is the back. I like how they even try to hide the elements under construction with…
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
